I try to use LaTeX writing paper Greek and English text, without using separate commands for Greek or English (like: \begin{otherlanguage}{greek}), but using both Greek and Latin characters under the same command.

I found the auto-greek package but I did't manage to install it on my macbook.

\usepackage{auto-greek}

Note that I have every font that supports Greek and Latin characters!

    You need to tell LaTeX that the language changes, how else will LaTeX know how to hyphenate? – Johannes_B Jan 28 '16 at 08:13

  • @Johannes_B What the auto-greek package seems to use is a combined set of (probably American) English hyphenation patterns and Greek ones. I guess this works because the languages don't share a common script. – cfr Apr 27 '16 at 20:46

Use can write Greek directly with the alphabeta package.

\documentclass {article}
\usepackage [utf8]           {inputenc}
\usepackage [greek, english] {babel}
\usepackage                  {alphabeta}

\begin {document}

Text in Greek: τίνι ἢ  γὰρ, ἄμφω

\end {document}

The easiest way might be using XeLaTeX like in this answer by Bernhard. I will just copy his MWE (use UTF-8 as character encoding when saving this as a new file):

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Linux Libertine O}

\begin{document}

 Pythagoras and Euclid

 Πυθαγόρας και Ευκλείδης.

\end{document}

You can adjust the used font with \setmainfont{font} (keep in mind that this will use your system's ttf or otf-fonts not the ordinary LaTeX ones.

  • You can replace both fontspec and setmaintfont commands if you are using xelatex by using the package libertine. So, \usepackage{libertine} will be better. – Simos Nones Dec 02 '20 at 10:51

For me, the following solution is working:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[polutonikogreek, english]{babel}
\usepackage[english]{betababel}

\begin{document}
Philosophische Anthropologie\\
\textbf{Die Lehre (\bcode{lo/gos}) vom ,,Menschen'' (\bcode {a)/ntropos})}.  
Urspr"ungleich wollte man den Menschen als ,,Maschine'', wie ein Uhrwerk
betrachten     und erkl"aren, Kant versuchte, die Anthropologie zu einer 
ordentlichen" Disziplin     zu 
\end{document}

I have the Mac OSX and installed texlive-latex with Port.
